“After traveling around the world yesterday, he put in a full day here—mitts, speed bag, shadow boxing—the works. The best part was at the end when he lifted his shirt to show me his six-pack and said, ‘Freddie, I’m still here.’”
The 42-year-old Pacquiao, who hasn’t been in the ring since beating Keith Thurman for the WBA welterweight “Super” title back in July 2019, makes his keenly-awaited return as an underdog against two-belt champion Errol Spence on Aug. 21. Pacquiao started his US camp with an eight-kilometer morning run and 1,000 sit-ups. He also underwent a random drug test from Vada at his house.
“Errol Spence is a very difficult fight for me; perhaps the most difficult of my career,” said Pacquiao . “But I have been an underdog my whole life. I am used to that. It is why I work so hard. But the love and the prayers of my fellow Philippine citizens and Filipinos around the world sustain and inspire me. I fight for the glory of our nation and for underdogs everywhere.” INQ
